I hate this paper.

I've been staring at it for days now. Of the 8 offered topics, I hate all of them. One of them might have worked, but I never could pin it down sufficiently to make a go of it. Now my teacher has had to leave and we've got a replacement for the rest of the quarter, I can't discuss paper topics with anyone, and the thing on my mind to write about a) wasn't on my mind while my professor still had the class, and b) can't be shoehorned into any of the existing assigned topics!

I know, I know, you don't have to love something to write it. God knows I've lived through that enough times to know the truth of it. But my brain keeps skittering up to the idea of the paper, peering at it distantly, and then deciding it's uninteresting and haring off to do something else altogether. This has to stop. I've got to find a way to just get it done, one way or the other. Gaaaah.
